Yes. I had to look it up, too. But it's the Establishment Clause that prohibits public prayers in public schools.
For question 4, the statement "Rights are not absolute" means that there are limitations on certain rights and they can be restricted or infringed upon in certain circumstances. The question asks you to identify examples that support this statement.
Let's go through each answer choice:
- A citizen criticizes public policy: This example does not support the statement that rights are not absolute. The right to free speech allows citizens to criticize public policy without limitations.
- A man yells "Bomb!" at an airport: This example supports the statement that rights are not absolute. While the right to freedom of speech exists, it is limited when it comes to public safety. Yelling "Bomb!" in an airport can cause panic and endanger others, so it can be restricted.
- A principal censors a student's article: This example supports the statement that rights are not absolute. The right to freedom of speech in schools can be limited by school authorities if the content of speech is deemed inappropriate or disruptive.
- Protestors demonstrate on private property: This example supports the statement that rights are not absolute. While individuals have the right to peaceful protest, private property owners can restrict this right on their property, as they have the right to control access and usage of their property.
Based on the explanations above, the correct answers are:
- A man yells "Bomb!" at an airport.
- A principal censors a student's article.
- Protestors demonstrate on private property.
For question 5, you are asked to identify which clause of the Constitution was violated by a law requiring Bible readings in public schools, as ruled by the Supreme Court in the case School District of Abington Township, Pennsylvania v. Schempp (1963).
The answer is the "Establishment Clause." The Establishment Clause, part of the First Amendment, prohibits the government from establishing a religion or promoting one over others. Requiring Bible readings in public schools was seen as an endorsement of a particular religion, thus violating the Establishment Clause.
So, the correct answer for question 5 is the "Establishment Clause."
